DETROIT -- Tigers CEO, president and general manager Dave Dombrowski has been named as a chairman on Major League Baseball's new On-Field Diversity Task Force, announced Wednesday "to address the talent pipeline that impacts the representation and development of diverse players and on-field personnel in Major League Baseball, particularly African-Americans," according to a press release.

Dombrowski has become an influential figure in MLB over the years. He has represented the Tigers at MLB Owners Meetings regularly, and he was recognized at the General Managers Meetings last fall with the John Schuerholz Award for 25 years as a GM.
